Stage Design

 I've always been interested in stage design. I go to see the live streams of the MET Opera in NY with my parents, and the stage designs are beautiful. Satyagraha, is an opera written in Sand Script about Ghandi's life. The staging was very experimental, with large puppets made out of newspaper (seen below). The materials used are very basic, this could mirror Ghandi's life.

 

Performing to a 7000 strong audience at Lake Constance 'The Marvelous Floating Stage of the Bregenz Festival' in Austria are on different level, the fact that they float is crazy. The designs are on such a large scale, I wonder how hard it would be to be heard from an actors point of view.

 These photos are from random years panning back to 2002.

Especially against the backdrop of the sky and the sea, all these stages looks crazy. The one which backdrop is the dark sky looks so impressive, and I'd love to go and experience the stage.
